I replaced the script one on my RKS with another one. The same year street glide script and put the bar and shield on my lowrider

Disappointed with Harley I considered running the overpriced chrome
shields but upside down. After awhile I think I like the no logo look.

Yep. The wife spotted them on Etsy, first, and I dismissed them as Chinese junk. Then, another member here bought them and sent me his link. Good stuff.

I’m a big fan of getting the right tank look....and badging goes right along with it. The hollow bar & shield (otherwise called the cvo emblem) is iconic Harley-Davidson in appearance. I voted for it. The new 2021 Special badging is a big improvement....(to me)...over the written nameplate. I could enjoy it also. The best of all worlds is a painted badge, design or emblem which always looks good and doesn’t age in looks.

Beautiful ride.

It would be different if you just had your tank repainted and were trying to decide what to go with.
well after all this, Prot you were bang on
i couldn’t decide between the 2 because apparently I wanted something completely different!
I have my emblems on order and I can’t wait to install them

thanks for everyone’s input

Sorry but I think the new 2021 ones suck, they don't flow with the tank, looks like it belongs on a police bike. I'm pretty disappointed with all of the changes to the 2021s, not that I'm looking to get a new one anyways but there's definitely nothing that would make me wanna trade up.
